What Is Sizing Like at Ana Dyla?

Ana Dyla rings run on a millimetre-diameter sizing system (you'll see sizes like 15, 16, 17 and 18), which simply means the inside diameter of the ring in millimetres — and on the whole, the pieces are true to size, but they're fine and delicate, so a precise measurement matters more here than with a chunky high-street band. This is the bit that trips most people up, because it isn't the UK letter system (M, N, O) you might be used to, and it isn't the US numbered system either. Get the measurement right and these are some of the loveliest everyday pieces you can own. Get it wrong and a 1mm slip can be the difference between a ring that sits beautifully and one that spins off your knuckle.

How Ana Dyla sizing actually works

Ana Dyla is a small, B-Corp-certified ethical jeweller handcrafting recycled sterling silver, gold vermeil and solid-gold pieces in Anatolia, Turkey. Because everything is made in small ateliers rather than churned out, the sizing is consistent but the size range per design is often limited — many rings come in just one or two options (say, 16 or 17) rather than a full run. So the first thing I tell clients is: don't assume your favourite design comes in your size. Check the specific product page.

Here's how to nail your size without guessing:

Measure a ring you already own and love. Take a slim ring (no wider than 3mm — anything chunkier throws the reading off), pop it over a ruler, line the inside edge up with zero, and read the inside diameter in millimetres. That number is your Ana Dyla size.
No ring to hand? Wrap a strip of paper around the base of your finger, mark where it meets, and measure the length. That's your finger's circumference — divide by roughly 3.14 for your diameter. A 53mm circumference, for example, lands you around a size 17.
Measure warm, late in the day. Fingers shrink in the cold and swell in heat — I always size clients mid-afternoon at room temperature for the truest fit.
Going for a stacking look? Their fine bands are designed to layer, so size each one to the finger you'll actually wear it on — knuckle rings sit higher and often need a smaller size.

My honest take on the fit and quality

I'll be candid: I once ordered a delicate stacking ring online (a different brand, in my early styling days) purely off a "looks about right" guess, and it arrived so loose it pinged off into a drain on Marylebone High Street within a week. Lesson learned the expensive way. With Ana Dyla's fine pieces, that delicacy is the whole point — they're meant to be barely-there, everyday jewellery — but it does mean a loose fit isn't forgiving. Size down rather than up if you're between sizes.

On quality, the gold vermeil here is a genuine cut above standard plating: it's 2.5–3 micron 18k gold over sterling silver, so the colour lasts far longer than the flash-plated stuff that turns your finger green by month two. The gemstone pieces are set properly and the silver is solid 925. For the price point, the make is excellent.

Where else to shop for fine & demi-fine jewellery

If Ana Dyla's ethos and price bracket appeal, here's where I'd send clients across the board — from everyday treats to proper investment pieces.

High street & everyday:

Oliver Bonas — my go-to for affordable, gift-led demi-fine jewellery; beautifully presented and consistently well-reviewed for delicate stackers.
COS — sculptural, minimalist pieces with a quiet, architectural edge that style brilliantly with tailoring.
Mango — surprisingly strong gold-tone and demi-fine ranges that punch well above their price.
Anthropologie — the place for statement, gemstone and boho pieces when you want something with a bit of drama.
Whistles — clean, contemporary designs; their fine hoops and pendants are wardrobe workhorses.
Monsoon — reliable for occasion and embellished pieces, especially around party season.
Massimo Dutti — understated, elevated gold-tone jewellery that reads far more expensive than it is.

Premium:

Reiss — polished, grown-up pieces that bridge the gap between high street and fine jewellery beautifully.
Me&Em — considered, modern jewellery with the same clean-lined confidence as their clothing.

Independent & left-field (worth seeking out):

Otiumberg — a London-based independent working in recycled solid gold and silver; the closest in spirit to Ana Dyla for considered, everyday fine pieces.
Completedworks — sculptural, slightly off-kilter British design using recycled silver and sustainable materials, for when you want a true conversation piece.
